One of the biggest drawbacks to smoking isn’t cancer, it’s cigarette butts. Cigarette butts are the leftovers from a cigarette that’s been smoked. It’s the part with the filter and a tiny nub of tobacco. They are everywhere because cigarette smokers like to flick their butt when they finish smoking. As a consequence you will find cigarette butts littering the city streets and sidewalks, on beaches and on the sides of hiking trails, they are all over the place. You will find them anywhere a smoker can go and smokers can go anywhere. I have a theory that smokers aren’t deliberately leaving their garbage everywhere to be assholes, they only do it because they don’t want to get lost a la Hansel and Gretel.
